Fireworks night roundup

Fire crews were called to a couple of incidents on Bonfire night on Saturday where embers from bonfires set fire to surrounding areas as well as several incidents of deliberate fires across the county.

At 6.27pm, a crew from Cambridge was called to Oakington Recreation Ground in Queens Way, Oakington, where embers from a bonfire at an organised event set fire to a tree stump and surrounding shrubs.

Firefighters used a hose reel to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 8.24pm.

Crews returned the following morning to extinguish a tree stump that had caught on fire using a hose reel and to dampen down the remains of the bonfire. Both fires were accidental.

Across the county there were 10 deliberate fires ranging from rubbish fires to a fire in an empty property as well as an office fire.

These include:

• A crew from Cambridge was called to a deliberate bin fire in Lawrence Way at 6.26pm. Firefighters used a hose reel to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 7.06pm.

• Crews from Ramsey and Whittlesey were called to a fire on the ground floor of an empty property in Wyndryridge, Marriots Drove, Ramsey Mereside at 8.06pm. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel to extinguish the fire and returned to their stations by 9.22pm.

Anyone with information about the incident, should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
